For example, tile will cost more to install than carpet, but could very well cost less long-term since it doesn't need to be replaced as often. 

You can fully deduct any expense incurred just for the room you rent, such as repairing a window in the room or installing carpets in the room or painting the room.

The creaking floor is less noticeable when someone overhead is walking in the carpeted areas upstairs.

They removed the carpet PAD and threw away, but saved the carpet itself and dried it out. 

Usually paint, carpet

For example:  a few years ago I was buying a flip house that needed only cosmetic work, and suntrust bank denied my mortgage because the appraiser noted that the house had writing on the walls, soiled carpets, and screen doors with screens falling off. 

However at one point in time carpet in the kitchen and green appliances were "the latest thing" and everyone knows where that went. 

The big items in this rehab includes:  -- landscaping - trim trees, remove weeds  -- remove popcorn ceiling, interior paint  -- kitchen/master bath/guest bath - replace counter top and sinks, re-paint cabinets, replace lighting and appliances (kitchen only)  -- garage - replace garage door, remove existing carpet (yes, 50% of the garage is covered in carpet), paint  -- doors - replace all doors   Would really appreciate your recommendation(s)! 

However, paint, carpet, and a simple plumbing repair is all that truly needs to be done.
